I am trying to find details on Zechariah Ellis, born in Lightcliffe in about 1776. I have been unable to track down his death details, but given he doesn't appear on the BMD lists, presume he died before 1837. He is my gggg-grandfather, and I would love to know anything about him. His second son, Sidney Ellis, was later Schoolmaster at Lightcliffe and a parish warden, but I can find very little about Zechariah. I'd appreciate any advice or help. Fiona

Hi Fiona
Not really much help but did your Zechariah have siblings ?
I have a Jacob b 1780 and a Luke b 1785 near Lightcliffe.
Biblical names repeat for several generations but I didn't come across Zachariah / Zechariah. The family / families were situated in the Lightcliffe, Hipperholme, Coley and Shelf areas in the early 1800's, moving towards Witchfield and North Bierley later.

There is also a reference to your Sidney Ellis on Malcolm Bull's most excellent Calderdale Companion

Hi Dave
It is probable that they could be siblings. I have James Ellis as the father of Zecharaiah, but as yet have identified no other siblings. I had found the reference to Sidney on Malcolm Bull's site, and been in touch with him to provide details on Sidney's dates.

I am able to provide an update on my earlier post about Zechariah.
He was the son of James Joseph Ellis (1750-1820) and Mary Elmsall (1753-1824) of Lightcliffe and I have only been able to identify one sibling, James James Ellis. I have not been able to find a death date for Zechariah.
James Joseph was the son of Joseph Ellis (1724-1773) and Martha Brown (1724 - ?).
I would welcome any additional information anyone can supply.
